My bread and butter.

When it comes to foam fighting garb, tunics are a basic necessity. The comfort and wear-ability of a tunic depends on two things, fit and fabric.

Gussets and gores have been used to make clothing fit since the middle ages, and that's the way I do it today. Not only do they give tunics an authentic period look, they also give you a comfortable, full range of motion in your arms. I add side gores to every tunic, the center one is optional, but helpful for ladies (due to shoulder to hip ratio)....fluffier guys, or those who just like the look of a fuller tunic.

For fabric, linen is the go-to. there's just nothing else like it. If you live where it gets super cold, wool can be nice as well. 

Currently all of my tunics are made to order. I hope to get some ready-to-wear stocked in my shop as soon as I finish the custom stuff I'm working on. 

I've turned this one inside out so you can see how gussets (under the arms) and gores (side and center) work. You'll also noticed I've overlocked all of the seams to prevent fraying, because linen does that, a lot.
